Monday to Friday, the boycott is growing.

Well, a few new bloggers and 350 more participants since my last report which i find pleasing but not really satisfying, like a bad blowjob sorta.

As the Pirate Bay trial starts on monday we have this weekend to make a mark in the newsmedia, although we have been noticedtwice i believe we have enough on our hands to get more press to write about it.

But for this to happen a need to ask you some favours.

Write about it, its really nice of you wrote about it once, telling us you support it. But once more wouldn't hurt would it, especially now during the weekends?

Do you have friends or relatives outside of Sweden that runs a blog? Great, can you ask them to start their own blogg-chain of bloggers that support this?

Write to the newspapers "letter to the editor"-pages where you shout out your support to this boycott

Sorry to be the one who squander this ludicrous idea of a boycott on entertainment products. But a boycott only tends to be effective if the majority of the customers abstain themself from buying, or if enough customers, who abstains from buying, is enough to make a negative economic impact on a company's revenue stream. Usually this abstaining from buying is 'cause people have "deals" with the product or service itself.

This's'nt the case for entertainment. People love the product and/or service.

Enough people will be pleased to note that there's seats availble in the theater for an upcoming, perhaps much awaited, reel, that they'll buy a ticket.

Enough people love the products of DVD and Blu-Ray, that they'll be happy to get their hands on 'em, sooner rather then later. This goes for rentals as well.

Unless there's a much awaited game released, during these weeks, (in which case the number of sales will sore, anyway, 'cause o'the simple logic that there're always more customers than actual units shipped,) most people actually will keep to their old trusted buying habits.

But like I said, sorry to boot you down to the Earth's crust, so to speak. ;-)

You are not the first, and you wont be the last.

And your logic that says that there will always be a bigger demand on these products then the supply, fails.
